Second Print started in December 2024 with a small run of vintage pinback button reproductions.

I began the project during a time when I felt unmoored and disconnected. Recreating these tiny pieces of queer history felt like holding onto something solid. Something that had survived before. Something that would again.

In January 2026, I expanded into apparel and custom printing with t-shirts, hats, totes, and small-batch apparel — all printed locally in Halifax using Canadian-sourced materials.

Today, Second Print is still just me: owner, designer, printer, shipper. I use DTF printing to produce high-quality original designs and faithful recreations of vintage graphics, as well as original designs by both myself and my mother, a watercolour artist of several decades. I also offer custom printing for artists, organizers, small brands, and community projects.

Second Print is a print shop with a past — and a future built on community.
